Kaela PalmerIssue 6: June 2018

I have been a member of Interactive Measurement Group since the Summer of 2016. As a member of the lab, I have completed multiple comprehensive literature reviews that have been (or soon will be) presented at various conferences. I also led a team that used exploratory factor analysis to analyze the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS). The resulting paper will hopefully be presented at a professional conference in Spring 2018. I have also led workshops on SPSS, Captivate, Qualtrics, APA formatting, and removing bias from writing. I am currently looking forward to teaching lab members how to hand score the LEAS in spring 2018.

In addition to the work I have done in the Interactive Measurement Group, I have also been an undergraduate teaching assistant, studied abroad in Spain, and volunteered as a CARE advocate through the Jean Nidetch Women’s Center. After graduating with a BA in psychology in Spring 2018, I will pursue a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My ultimate goal is to obtain a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy or a closely related field, as well as my supervising license, so I am able to work in a university as a professor, therapist, and supervisor.
